Chapter 865: The Old Lady

When it comes to disciplining the daughter‑in‑law, Lin Xiangdong doesn't interfere.

He went out early in the morning to walk the dog.

Da Hei and Er Hei were locked up in the Sihe Courtyard for a long time and didn't go out to play.

Lin Fengtian left before dawn.

He made an appointment with Bai Ying, playing happily while discussing matters.

Liang Shiyun sat in the living room, frowning, with a displeased expression.

"Mom~"

Yang Caiwei called out cautiously.

Zheng Enhui also called out cautiously.

The old lady hummed a sound.

Then she asked, "What about Xiaofei and the others?"

Liang Shiyun was asking about Jiang Xiaofei and Qian Miaomiao.

Yang Caiwei answered with a smile, "Xiaofei is busy with something, and Miaomiao went out to do sketching."

Liang Shiyun nodded and asked again, "What about the children?"

"This…"

Yang Caiwei found it hard to answer.

Zheng Enhui quickly said, "They made a mistake, were locked up, as Sister Liang and the others ordered."

Zheng Enhui's last sentence highlighted that the matter had nothing to do with her.

"Won't you release my well‑behaved grandchildren? They're not criminals; why lock them in a little dark room?"

Liang Shishi frowned and said.

Yang Caiwei replied affirmatively and hurried out of the living room.

A moment later, eleven children ran into the living room.

"Grandma! Grandma…"

Liang Shiyun was instantly surrounded by a group of children.

Hearing the childish cries, the old lady was overjoyed, patting this one and pinching that one.

Fortunately, they were all whole.

"You mischievous rascals must have done something wrong! If you hadn't, how would your mother punish you, right?"

Liang Shiyun said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Lin Chang'e said sheepishly, "We made a big mistake! We deserve to be punished."

As soon as the words finished, Lin Baobao wailed, "Grandma, even if we made a mistake, you can't beat us to death!"

Lin Baobao's crying made all the children start crying.

"Alright, alright! Stop crying; I know what's going on with you. Go back to your rooms first; when your mother arrives, I'll scold her!"

Liang Shiyun said with a smile.

She was very angry when she received the children's call in the early morning.

But after rushing back and resting for a few hours, she calmed down.

It was obvious that these clever little rascals were acting.

The punishment must be given, but not to the point of beating them to death.

After the children left, Liang Shiyun asked Yang Caiwei, "Where are they?"

Yang Caiwei smiled, "They've already arrived, waiting for you, Mother, to summon them!"

Liang Shiyun smiled, "I feel like I've become like Cixi."

Zheng Enhui said, "Mother, how can Cixi be compared to you! She's a wicked old lady!"

Liang Shiyun said, "Stop flattering me; if you really want to make this old lady happy, give me two well‑behaved grandchildren, that's proper."

Zheng Enhui replied, "Probably two more rascals, causing you worry."

"You go down first! I know you feel uncomfortable being present."

The old lady was delighted and said with a smile.

Yang Caiwei and Zheng Enhui exchanged a glance and hurried away.

The old lady was quite understanding; with those two childless women present, it would be very awkward for Sister Liang and the others to be scolded.

After the two left, a few minutes passed.

Liang Shishi, Guo Yanru, Qi Yao, Han Xiang, Wen Keke, Bei Yiren, Guo Yanqiu, Wu Qian, Chen Yingqiu, and Mei Wu all arrived.

The old lady's smile immediately faded, putting on a displeased expression.

"Mom~"

Except for Liang Shishi, each one called out.

They're all good daughters‑in‑law.

They're not married yet, but have given their own sons a clever child.

Thinking of this, the old lady's heart softened.

They've all raised children before, so they know how hard it is.

When Lin Feng was a few years old he was very mischievous; Liang Shishi was even more so as a child, and they often beat them up.

Putting oneself in their shoes, if a child makes a mistake, they should be beaten.

Thinking of this, the old lady recalled the children's 'Blood‑tear accusation' and once again pulled a sour face.

"You guys say, this time the kids made a mistake, how should we punish them?"

The old lady directly said.

No one answered as soon as she finished speaking.

"Young Witch, you speak!"

The old lady called out a name.

Because everyone learned how to punish the kids from Young Witch.

Young Witch said: "Before, we hung them up and beat them! Now it seems this punishment is too light; I want to try using electricity, for example, a whip electrified and dipped in salt water to strike…"

The old lady's eyes widened.

Liang Shishi, Guo Yanru, etc., also had their eyes wide open,

They thought, this person really dares to say that!

The old lady couldn't believe her own ears!

As Young Witch was speaking, she had a vivid image in her mind.

Originally thinking they were all mothers, with a bit of sympathy, just saying a few sentences would be enough, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

This is the Lin Family, not a military intelligence prison!

"Don't say it!"

The old lady suddenly spoke coldly, interrupting the second kind of Vinegar Jar Punishment that Young Witch had mentioned.

Young Witch opened her mouth, then closed it.

The old lady panted heavily, building up anger.

But soon, Liang Shiyun let out a breath.

Liang Shishi finally seized the opportunity and said: "Before, Lin Jingru and the others' misdeeds were minor; a beating would have sufficed, but this time is different—it violates a principle."

They thought it might be fun, a show of ability, but they didn't realize it was wrong.

As a child stealing needles, as an adult stealing gold—I educated you this way when you were young.

Liang Shiyun waved her hand and said: "Saying 'steal' isn't appropriate. It's our own family's money, and we didn't take anyone else's."

When you were young, you secretly gave half a bag of rice to the neighbor's little girl from our home—did I mention this before?

Liang Shishi looked astonished, thinking, 'Sister actually knows about this!'

When she was young, the neighboring family was poor and had no food; she often secretly gave them rice, helping them get through that difficult time.

Later, the family of that female classmate she had played well with since childhood moved away, and they lost contact thereafter.

The nature is different…

Liang Shishi muttered.

Guo Yanru then said: "Mom, do you know how much money they hid? A full five hundred billion… dollars! How many domestic companies have a market cap that high?"

What?

Liang Shiyun looked shocked.

She didn't know this figure before coming.

Bei Yiren explained: "Wasn't it the last time we developed Yue Ya Dao? At first, few people went to the island, so we entrusted the matter to a few children…"

After Bei Yiren finished speaking, Liang Shiyun remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, Liang Shiyun finally spoke: "Little kids don't understand; seeing those beautiful gems, glittering gold nuggets, who knows what value they have?"

They definitely thought it was fun, so they hid it.

In the end, most of it was turned into money!

Liang Shishi reminded.

Liang Shiyun blinked, 'Kids! They have no concept of money, especially our family's children, who have hardly spent any money since childhood—how would they know the difference between a few dollars and a few hundred million?'

So the fault lies with your teaching. Shishi, when you were how old did you learn to buy soy sauce, knowing why I sent you to buy things?

It's to let you know the purchasing power of money; when you become mothers yourselves, how could you not teach it?

Liang Shishi was speechless; the old lady's words were simply twisted logic!

Even if Qi Yao spoke up, she couldn't convince the old lady.
